We’ve teamed up with our friends at Crafter’s Companion this month to bring you our very first Christmas stamp and die set of the season! This month’s Believe in the Magic set is easy-to-use and will help you create stunning projects in no time.
Turn to page 9 to find Katie Skilton's stunning festive cards, whilst over on page 60 you’ll find a fun off-the-page collection from Sarah Jackman Read that'll keep you extra busy!
As ever, we’re eager to help you boost your skills and so, we’ve also got a ton of technique-led features for you. From stepped-back die-cutting on page 77, autumn wreath making on page 56, and inventive stencilled creations from Nicky on page 30.
Our new release updates come from a collection of top brands this issue; we have sneak peeks from Crafter’s Companion (page 18), Two Red Robins (page 36) and Chloe’s Creative Cards (page 74). We’re sure you’ll be adding most of them to your must-buy lists.
This month’s masterclass helps you extend your stamp stash by using vintage stamps to create contemporary creations (page 42).
Happy crafting!
